Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Graduate/Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Truro
An impressive track record of year on year growth and profit since establishing our first business back in 2004, SmithCorp is the UK’s leading independently owned specialist Education recruitment group consisting of 6 brands with 5 office locations across the South West & London. In 2016 alone, we opened 2 new office locations, established a new business and grew our headcount by 25% whilst turning over £32million+. Set to expand further in 2019, the doors are open to ambitious graduates looking to start a challenging and financially rewarding career with excellent progression opportunities.
As an organic business, SmithCorp consists entirely of individuals who started their careers here as trainees with no experience working in recruitment, including at the helm of the company as our Managers, Directors. We offer structured, target-based progression which enables you to move through the ranks here by hitting targets – it’s simple, the better you perform, the quicker you progress!
If you’re looking for a very realistic chance to climb, quickly, through the ranks of one of the UK’s fastest growing companies (Virgin Fast Track) whilst earning through a competitive basic and lucrative commission structure, developing with our in-house Business Performance Academy and enjoying the great lifestyle recruitment has to offer (think 2 x annual, all-expenses company trips to Vegas and Skiing; monthly Lunch Clubs; regular company nights out....) this could be the opportunity for you.
What would my career realistically look like?
1st Year
You should hit at least two promotions and undergo a minimum of three training courses including a mentorship with one of the top performers here. There is no probation period and you have the ability to earn commission from day 1. Within your first 12 months, you should be set to earn between £25-33k with your basic salary guaranteed to rise by a minimum of £3k, however hardworking consultants have earned over £35k+.
2nd Year
You can expect to achieve promotion to senior consultant and before the year is out be well on track for a move into management, with your basic increasing by as much as £7k. Realistically you should expect to earn between £35-45k. However again, hard-working consultants have earned in excess of £40k in this year.
3rd Year
You could be managing a team of between 2 – 4 people with your mind set on growing your team further. Realistically you should expect to be earning between £45-55k however, again, the reward for those who go above and beyond expectations can expect to earn much higher.
4th Year
You could be leading an established team of between 5 – 10 people and earning anywhere between £55-75k+. You will likely have been enrolled into our two year Leadership Development Programme and will be progressing towards six figure earnings and Associate Directorship within the next couple of years
